Continuing Education:
The Symposium team understands the importance of certificates of attendance and CEUs for many licensed professionals. Due to the administrative burden of securing pre-approved CEUs, this year the Symposium will provide the documentation for attendees to pursue credit from their respective licensing board post-event. Attendees will receive a detailed certificate of attendance, and additional documentation can be requested if needed by emailing symposium@arizonacoalition.org.
